When Sarah "Red" Ryder loses her job as an art critic for a Boston newspaper, she's brokenhearted. Worse than that? She's broke. Her boyfriend recently left her - for a tatted-up hottie with a dick - so she's stuck paying her hefty apartment rent alone. After two months unemployed, there's no money left. With no immediate family to turn to, Red reaches out to her estranged grandmother, a reclusive writer living on an island off the coast of Charleston. Several days later, Red receives $30,000 and an invitation to visit.

James Wolfe is not Red's grandmother. But he beckons her. Red has the ability to give him something he needs. He won't take "no" for an answer, and he doesn't mind screwing her over. He lost his conscience six years ago, when he was tried for the murder of his wife. Since then, life is about him - and the paintings he does under the mysterious pseudonym "W."

Wolfe needs the island to keep painting. To live his life away from prying eyes. To keep up the anonymity of "W."

Once he sees Red, he finds that he needs her, too. And Wolfe will have her. Any way he can.

Excerpt

"Red?" I push her gown down a little further and close my mouth over her breast, working her nipple with my lips. Caressing it with my tongue. I'm rewarded by a soft moan that goes straight to my cock. I need to be inside her, despite knowing I don't have the time.

I pull the covers down and slide my hand up her shin, then up her thigh. She's warm from sleep. Her skin feels like burnished velvet. My fingers brush her pussy and she lifts her hips. She wants it. I love the way she always wants it.

"Race."

I love the way she says my name: a mew.

"I'm going to fuck you with my fingers," I say, leaning near her face. "Then you'll go to sleep again."

A dreamy smile floats over her lips. She nods a little, pressing her head into the pillow.

I slide a finger into her. She's hot and tight, softer than silk. I can feel her clench as I pump into her. She's wet this morning. So fucking slick. I stroke in and out, painting her pussy, using my fingertip to smooth warm lines around her swollen clit.

I'm rewarded by her crying out.

"Say my name."

I still my hand. I can hear my blood rush in my ears. Race. Say Race.

Her hands grab at my wrist. "Race."

I allow myself a brief grin. It's undiluted satisfaction. She knows - or at least suspects - I'm James Wolfe, but she's still in my bed.

"Say 'Race, please.' I like to hear you beg." I push another finger into her. Her body quivers. "I like to feel you jump."

I stretch her with a third finger and slide my thumb over her clit. I'm moving slow. So slow.

"Race, oh God - yes. Please."

"That's right, sweetheart."

Welcome Readers and Authors

Love To Read Everything!!Happiness is a good book and a cup of coffee!!

I love books! I love reading them, talking about them and re-reading my favorites.

When I read a book I wait a few days until I write my reviews, I usually base it on how I felt whilst I was reading them, if they stayed with me and what I loved about the story.

I also don’t write negative reviews.

Even when it’s not #angfriendly I do try to be kind, fair and honest.

My reviews are my own opinion, you may not like them or you may love them but at the end of the day they are what I experienced through reading each story.

In other words – I may love what you hate and hate what you love...

My absolute fave genres are Paranormal Romance (PNR) – hence the name of my blog, Urban Fantasy, LGBT Romance and Suspense Romance. And over the years I have come to actually enjoy contemporary romance too.

When it comes to reading I am very adventurous … I even throw in some YA at times. I just LOVE romance, the build-up, the courting the wooing the growth of a relationship, Low Angst NO Drama Romance and SMUT of course! If it’s got romance in it, I’ll most likely read it.

Gah! honestly I could list so many more but I will stop before this becomes and novel and I bore you before you even get to know me! Oh and Lora Leigh and T.A. Chase, Lauren Dane, Amy Lane okay, okay no more!
